Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, which is required to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a popular application that is used to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of organizations that develop paid script applications, so when you obtain such an app for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

If you get a Linux cloud hosting from our company, you'll be able to select the PHP release, which will be active for your account according to what your script apps require. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced section of the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel for all of the versions that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this section, you will be able to take advantage of a small software tool that will allow you to handle the php.ini file for the account and enable or disable PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, therefore you will not need any kind of previous knowledge considering that enabling Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More advanced users can do the same by adding a php.ini file with the needed program code in a specific domain folder. In case you need any help to activate the tool, you'll be able to contact our tech support crew at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You are able to activate Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we supply and it will take you just a couple of clicks to do that. After you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you should head to the PHP Configuration section where you will find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for each one of them. Zend is one of these options, which means that you don't need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. Because you can also switch the PHP release for your account through the very same section, you'll have to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Of course, we've also left the option for more experienced users to set both the PHP release as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect only for this specific site, but not for the web hosting account as a whole.
